Tower Control and the Weapons to Choose

With the newest game mode out, a lot of people are trying to figure out good strats and weapons to use. Look no further! I have a lot of advice on the subject. These are the thinks I recommend to keep in mind when choosing your weapon kit. This is my first guide so please help me improve on them by commenting what to improve on :D


Primary
  • Charge Weapons- These weapons have amazing potential. They can pick off whoever is riding the tower from a great distance, effectively slowing the enemy.

  • The Inkbrush- This weapon is very fast and better for close range. This is great for this mode! The Inkbrush can attack the other teams members riding the tower with ease and it can also get to it very quickly by holding down ZR. While on it, any attackers who climb aboard would get slaughtered.

  • Full Auto Weapons- These weapons can attack and defend the tower with ease. Shooting the enemy off is very simple. Defending it is as well. Pretty standard for this class of weapons.
Subs
  • Suction Bomb- Throwing one of these guys onto the tower while the enemy is riding it will get you kills and force anyone riding the tower to jump off. This allows you to take back the tower or to throw one down before you get splatted in order to prevent the enemies control of the tower.

  • Ink Mine- Not a lot to be said about this besides the fact that it is very effective. Plant one down on the tower and it can kill off anyone riding or they will jump off.

Specials
  • Killer Wail- This thing will kill anyone riding the tower or force them off where they can be easily splatted. Great to use when pushing the tower.

  • Inkstrike- Kills anyone on the tower or forces them off like the Killer Wail. Good to use when pushing forward and you need to protect the tower.

  • Bomb Rush- One of the best to use. Kills people quickly on the tower. Also can be used to kill off enemies trying to stop your team while pushing the tower. I have killed a whole team with this before.

  • Kraken- I haven't tested it yet. I would believe that it would be good because you could push the tower with it and due to the invincibility, not take any damage.

Additional Stuff
  • Don't have more than 2 people on the tower. You don't want to lose your whole team. Let the other 2 players kill anyone trying to climb up and act as substitutes if anyone dies while riding the tower.

    Bubbler- Great for team rushes and for protecting those on the tower. I have lost to a team that...

A fair list of weapons, but is missing many more like Blasters. Definitely needs an update.
For your first review, this is great! Keep up the good work. I use the Krack-on roller during Tower Control because it can OHKO anyone on the tower when close up and because of it's ability.
Good preview, but I think there´s really no need to have people on the tower at all times, in fact I think it´s much better to leave the tower, deal with the opposition and get back to it. The tower will keep moving on it´s own for a while, so as long as you´re fast enough there should be no problem. Staying on the tower makes you an easy target.
Blasters work so incredibly well... I feel like it's a tad bit too soon to start saying what's outright good. Not a bad guide because you cover things fairly well, but it just feels like it's too soon to say some of these things... For instance I disagree with Inkstrike and Kraken, I think bubbler would work better...

I actually forgot to put the Bubbler into the guide. I had my Wii U on while writing this and I would cycle between monitor inputs to test some stuff. I made an update and I will be checking out Blasters today. Thanks for the review :D
